Neil Ansell: My life as a Hermit
Such long solitude (1) can lead to self-examination, to a growing self-awareness. But not for me. What happened to me was that I began to forget myself.

Alone, there was no need for identity, for self-definition. During my years in the hills, I kept a journal. For the first year, it was a usual diary; places I went, things I did.

By the second year, it was little more than a nature journal; what birds I saw that day, perhaps some notes on the weather. By the third year, it was no more than an almanac, marking the turn of the seasons by the comings and goings of migrant birds and their nesting dates.

I disappeared from my own story. I could stay like this forever, becoming steadily more eccentric. My life had long since stopped feeling like any kind of a challenge; I was just living the life I chose.

What led me away in the end was a strong desire to have children.
